Chesnaught(ブリガロン,Burigaron), known as the Spiny Armor Pokémon, is the final evolved form of Chespin and it evolves from Quilladin. With its new Fighting type, it defends its friends and allies by putting its own life in danger. Its armoring allows it to endure powerful explosions.

Braixen(テールナー,Tērunā) is the evolved form of Fennekin. It has ended its younger form's tendency to eat twigs, but it keeps one in its tail to keep itself calm.[2][6] In the TV series, Serena's Fennekin evolved into Braixen.

In the anime, Ash's Frogadier evolves into a Greninja and possesses the ability Battle Bond to assume a unique form called "Ash-Greninja", which players of Pokémon Sun and Moon can acquire. At the end of the Pokémon XY anime series, Ash releases Greninja, so that it protects Kalos with help from Squishy and Z2 of the two Zygarde.

Florges(フラージェス,Furājesu) is the final evolved form of Flabébé. It makes territory by growing flowers and exquisite flower gardens, using these flowers' energy as its own during battles. Because of its ability to create beautiful gardens, rulers of castles would use Florges to make them for their own.[39][40] In the Pokémon X and Y storyline, AZ has an Eternal Flower Floette with a signature move called Light of Ruin which cannot be obtained by the player.

Skiddo(メェークル,Mēkuru), the Mount Pokémon, later evolves into Gogoat. It said that it has lived alongside humans for so long that it does not mind carrying people. Like Gogoat, the player character will be able to ride one at some point in the game.[41][42]

In the Pokémon: XY TV series, Serena catches a Pancham who has a desire to perform.

Pangoro(ゴロンダ,Goronda), the Daunting Pokémon, is the evolved form of the panda Pokémon Pancham, gaining a new Dark-type during the evolution. Pangoro seems violent, but it actually believes in fairness in battle, with its leaf able to predict its opponents moves.[47][48]

Spritzee(シュシュプ,Shushupu), the Perfumed Pokémon, is a Fairy-type Pokémon that can only be caught in the Y version. In the past it was kept by women for its perfume which it uses to entrance its opponents. This fragrance changes depending on what Spritzee has eaten.[62][63]

Malamar(カラマネロ,Karamanero), the Overturning Pokémon, is the evolved form of Inkay while the previous form is upside down. It is said to be the best hypnotist of all Pokémon, and for this reason many ill-intentioned trainers seek out this Pokémon. An evil Malamar has appeared in the anime twice.

Sylveon(ニンフィア,Ninfia, Nymphia), the Intertwining Pokémon, is a Fairy type Pokémon and a brand new evolution of the first-generation Pokémon Eevee. Its type was kept a mystery until the official reveal. Sylveon possesses abilities to move the antenna-like ribbons on its body, which it uses to relieve the feelings of both humans and Pokémon. Also the ribbons act as a leash when it walks with its trainer. Sylveon can learn a new Fairy-type move, Moonblast, that allows it to borrow energy from the moon and attack the opponent with a powerful blast.[100][101]

Hawlucha(ルチャブル,Ruchaburu), also known as the Wrestling Pokémon, is a small bird with red cape-like wings, and a green mask-like face. Even considering its small size, Hawlucha is a very proficient fighter with skills that allow it to keep up with big bruisers.[103] It does this by being difficult to defend against, attacking from above. It stays steady in the air using its wings.[104] It learns the unique move Flying Press that combines its Fighting- and Flying-type abilities into a single sky-diving bodyslam.[105][106]

In the Pokémon: XY TV series, Ash catches a Hawlucha that has been trying to perfect its Flying Press on its own.

Goomy(ヌメラ,Numera), known as the Soft Tissue Pokémon, is a small slug-like Pokémon said to be the weakest of Dragon-types.[112] However, its slimy mucus coating makes any punches or kicks slide off it harmlessly, making it difficult to fight.[113] To prevent this membrane from drying out, it lives in dark, damp locations. In the episode "A Slippery Encounter" Ash caught a Goomy. His Goomy had a phobia of Bug types because its homeland was attacked by several different Bug types. It also had a fear of Fairy types, most likely due to the fact the Bug types that attacked its home were being led by a Florges. It evolves into a Sliggoo when leveling up in rain and then later into a Goodra.[112][114][115]

Goodra(ヌメルゴン,Numerugon) is the final evolved form of Goomy, a very powerful Pokémon in comparison to it being called the weakest Dragon Pokémon as Goomy. It is a very friendly Dragon type that loves to hug its beloved trainer, and covers them in its sticky slime.[citation needed] It attacks with the retractable horns on its head, and its punch is as strong as the punches of a hundred pro-boxers.[118][119]

Klefki(クレッフィ,Kureffi), also known as the Key Ring Pokémon, is a white key and ring, with various keys it has collected over time. It is a key collector that threatens attackers by fiercely jingling its keys at them.[120] Once attached to a key, it never releases it, so Klefki are frequently used for high-profile security.[121][122][123]

Klefki was designed by Pokémon graphic designer Mana Ibe and inspired by "old mansions and secret keys".[124] Video game journalists regarded its design as among the worst of new Pokémon introduced in X and Y,[125][126] and characterized the design as uninspired, insipid, and strange.[127][128][129] Angela Webber of The Portland Mercury included it in a list of Pokémon meant to demonstrate that the Pokémon designers have "run out of ideas."[130] A short film about Klefki, "Pikachu, What's This Key For?", is slated to premiere as an opener for the 17th Pokémon film.[131]

Phantump(ボクレー,Bokurē) is also known as the Stump Pokémon. It is born when a spirit—specifically, one of a child who perished while lost in the forest—possesses a rotten tree stump. It can use the new move Forest's Curse to add the Grass Type to an opposing Pokémon.[132][133]

Trevenant(オーロット,Ōrotto) is a tree-like Pokémon, the evolved form of Phantump. It was first briefly featured in a commercial for Pokémon X and Y shown at screenings of ExtremeSpeed Genesect: Mewtwo Awakens in Japan, which was later shown on the eShop and uploaded to Pokémon Japan's official YouTube channel.[134] It can control the trees with its will and traps people who harm the forest so they can never leave.[135][136]

Pumpkaboo(バケッチャ,Baketcha), the Pumpkin Pokémon, is born when the souls of the dead cannot pass onto the otherside, and instead inhabit pumpkins. Pumpkaboo can be found in many sizes, with the largest being twice as big as the smallest.[137][138]

Gourgeist(パンプジン,Panpujin) is the evolved form of Pumpkaboo. Like its younger stage, Gourgeist can also be found in many sizes. They sing in eerie voices while wandering through towns on the night of the new moon. It is said that anyone that hears a Gourgeist's song is cursed.[139][140]

Bergmite(カチコール,Kachikōru) is the Ice Chunk Pokémon. It is able to use the ice that shields its body to block incoming attacks and can use cold air to repair it if any chips appear.[141] They can be found either in the snowy mountains or on drift ice at sea. They can freeze their opponents solid with just the moisture in the air.[142][143]

Noibat(オンバット,Onbatto, Onbat) is the child form of Noivern. Its ears produce ultrasonic waves that allow it to communicate with others and hunt its prey. It can even use the waves to determine if fruit is ripe enough to eat.[146][147]

Noivern(オンバーン,Onbān, Onvern), the Sound Wave Pokémon, is a bat-like Pokémon named after the wyvern that uses sound waves in its attacks strong enough to break boulders into pebbles, represented by the new move Boomburst.[148][149]

Xerneas(ゼルネアス,Zeruneasu) is the mascot for the X version. Defined as the Life Pokémon, it is a deer-like Fairy-type Pokémon that has X-shaped glints in its eyes and jewels hanging from its antlers. Xerneas's signature move Geomancy summons these gems in its attacks, and its ability Fairy Aura raises the power of other Fairy-type attacks.[150][151]

Series creature designer Ken Sugimori was tasked with the creation of Xerneas and Yveltal, but "ran into a total wall in the process." He gave this task to art designer Yusuke Ohmura, who worked on it until Sugimori took over to finish it.[152] According to GamesRadar, Xerneas is based on the Norse demigodEikþyrnir.[153] Xerneas was designed with "eternalness" in mind. It took the designers a year and a half to design, contrary to the average design time of six months to a year.[154] It was designed so that its silhouette would resemble the letter X.[155]

Yveltal(イベルタル,Iberutaru) is the mascot for the Y version and is an avian bird-like dual Dark/Flying type Pokémon designated the Destruction Pokémon and in flight, resembles the letter Y. Yveltal's signature attack is Oblivion Wing, where it flies into the air and releases a blast of deadly energy which takes HP from the Pokémon hit by the attack; its special ability Dark Aura raises the power of Dark-type moves.[151][156]

Series creature designer Ken Sugimori was tasked with the creation of Xerneas and Yveltal, but "ran into a total wall in the process." He gave this task to art designer Yusuke Ohmura, who worked on it until Sugimori took over to finish it.[152] Yveltal was designed with a "destruction" theme in mind. It took the designers a year and a half to design, contrary to the average design time of six months to a year.[154] It was designed so that its silhouette would resemble the letter Y.[155]

Zygarde(ジガルデ,Jigarude) is the Order Pokémon, spending its life unmoving within the dark Terminus Cave unless the ecological balance of Kalos is threatened. Its special ability Aura Break reverses the powers of both Xerneas's Fairy Aura and Yveltal's Dark Aura, weakening Fairy- and Dark-type moves, and its signature attack Land's Wrath can damage multiple opponents at once.[151][157] Hackers have found new moves called Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves that are likely related to Zygarde, in a similar manner to Kyurem's Freeze Shock and Ice Burn, which were originally in Black and White's code but inaccessible until the sequels. In the October issue of CoroCoro it was revealed that Zygarde in Terminus Cave is actually a 50% Forme created by one of two Zygarde Cores absorbing a large amount Zygarde Cells, with the canine 10% Forme a weaker version. When the two Zygarde Cores are together, they absorb all Zygarde Cells to form Zygarde's Complete Forme.

In 2016, it was revealed that the moves Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves, as well as Zygarde 10% Forme and Complete Forme, would be featured in the 7th generation games, Pokémon Sun and Moon

In the Pokémon XYZ anime, Zygarde serves as a plot device as Team Flare attempts to recapture the Zygarde Core they designated Z-1, which is currently traveling with Ash's group after being named Squishy, while hunting down Zygarde 50% Forme (designated Z-2). After some, time Team flare managed to capture Z-2 and eventually unleashed him in the center of Lumiose City, the capital of the Kalos region. The team's leader Lysandre vows to destroy the current world and restart it, so people and Pokemon can live in harmony. But Ash's group did not accept this plan and ultimately managed to destroy team Flare's mind controlling device, which caused Lysandre to fake his own suicide, but soon after reappearing to take control of megalith Zygarde, A massive rock structure which resembles Zygarde 50% form, but is many times larger. It was created when a Chespin was held to near a massive Megalith crystal, which the Chespin had absorbed a large amount of Zygarde energy in an earlier lab accident. But most characters from the XY and XYZ anime reunited, resulting in team Flare's total defeat and Lysandre's death.

Diancie(ディアンシー,Dianshī) is the Jewel Pokémon, and it is able to create diamonds by compressing the carbon in the air between its hands.[158] In the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire games, Diancie possesses a Mega Evolution.

It appeared as a female in the film Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction where she is the princess of the Diamond Domain and she needs Ash and his friends' help to find Xerneas to give her the power to create a Heart Diamond that powers the Diamond Domain. Diancie was also thought to evolve from Carbink. While Diancie does originate from Carbink, it is not through evolution, rather mutation.[159][160]

Hoopa(フーパ,Fūpa) is the Mischief Pokémon, possessing rings that it uses to bend dimensions and travel across great distances. Using the Prison Bottle will transform it into its alternate appearance. Hoopa's alternate appearance is called "Hoopa Unbound", which becomes Psychic/Dark type.[161] It was announced on January 15, 2015.[162]

Hoopa featured in the 2015 Pokémon anime movie, The Great Djinni of the Rings: Hoopa(光輪（リング）の超魔神 フーパ,Ringu no Chōmajin Fūpa), which was released in theaters in Japan and America on July 18, 2015 under the title Hoopa and the Clash of Ages.[163]

Volcanion(ボルケニオン,Borukenion) is the Steam Pokémon. It has the ability to expel super-hot steam through its "cannons" on its back. The pressure from the steam can blow away mountains.[164] Volcanion was officially revealed on December 12, 2015 in the CoroCoro issue.[165]
